4.3.16.157.1 Content

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
active	Active	The prescription is 'actionable', but not all actions that are implied by it have occurred yet.
on-hold	On Hold	Actions implied by the prescription are to be temporarily halted. The prescription might or might not be resumed. May also be called 'suspended'.
cancelled	Cancelled	The prescription has been withdrawn before any administrations have occurred
completed	Completed	All actions that are implied by the prescription have occurred.
entered-in-error	Entered in Error	The prescription was recorded against the wrong patient or for some reason should not have been recorded (e.g. wrong medication, wrong dose, etc). Some of the actions that are implied by the medication request may have occurred. For example, the medication may have been dispensed and the patient may have taken some of the medication.
stopped	Stopped	Actions implied by the prescription are to be permanently halted, before all of the administrations occurred. This should not be used if the original order was entered in error
draft	Draft	The prescription is not yet 'actionable', e.g. it is a work in progress, requires sign-off, verification or needs to be run through decision support process.
unknown	Unknown	The authoring/source system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this observation. Note: This concept is not to be used for 'other' - one of the listed statuses is presumed to apply, but the authoring/source system does not know which.
